Limiting Simultaneous jobs for vSphere Replication

Is there a way to limit simultaneous jobs configured in vSphere Replication?  It looks like we can only configure RPOs but not simultaneous/concurrent jobs ran.  We are having bandwidth saturation issues so would like to prioritize which virtual machines get replicated over before others.


Thanks.

There isn't a way to directly prioritize VMs with vSphere Replication. VR dynamically schedules replications to try to meet RPO for all replicated VMs so if you have some VMs that aren't meeting the RPO I'd suggest reducing your RPO settings. You could also take a look at the VR bandwidth Calculator: http://www.vmware.com/vrcalculator and determine what settings your pipe can support.
